description
The building is on Keith Place near Stonehaven Harbor . It overlooks the North Sea and is attached to the lake side by a wall that is older than the port facility. The south-east exposed main facade of the one-story building with high basement is almost symmetrical and six axes wide. The masonry consists of quarry stone, which was built into a coarse layered masonry with natural stone surrounds. With the exception of the Harl- plastered south-west gable with stepped gable , it is exposed masonry . This gable is the only one decorated with grotesque gargoyles . Four or eight-part lattice windows are embedded along the facade . The final gable roof with wide gable-end chimneys is covered with slate. The newer flat extension is attached to the rear.
